My favorite deal this week at Food Lion is getting free Fresh Express or Dole spinach or spring mix when you buy a rotisserie chicken. There are so many healthy combinations to be made with this bundle beyond the two on the menu this week. The subtotal for all three meals is $42.67, or $3.56 per serving. Most of the items below can be found in the Food Lion ads in today’s StarNews.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add zucchini, onion, garlic, bell pepper and 2 Tbsp fajita seasoning. Cook five minutes, or until vegetables are soft.

Divide vegetables and chicken among eight tortillas; top with cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly around filling.

Place tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake 10 minutes, turn, and bake five minutes on the other side.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place Brussels sprouts in a baking pan. Toss with 1 Tbsp of olive oil, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast 10 minutes.

Add apple and dried cranberries to sprouts; stir and spread in an even layer. Cover with foil and bake eight to 10 minutes longer.

Place fish in a single layer on a lightly greased rack in an aluminum foil-lined broiler pan; sprinkle with remaining ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper. Broil five inches from heat for eight minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Serve with Brussels sprouts mixture on the side.
